Details of barrow on Pastscape

A Bronze Age round barrow, suggested to be a bowl barrow, is one of a pair of mounds situated on Frome Hill, 520 metres west of Frome Farm. The barrow mound, which is scheduled and has been taken out of cultivation, measures 16 metres in diameter and 1.8 metres high. Aerial photography and ground survey have been unable to confirm the presence of a surrounding ditch, although it seems probable that one exists.
